Fairamo Leaving - Darnell McIntosh on his way? : Tue Jun 01, 2021 5:28 am  

As expected he's joining Radford at Castleford https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/sport/ru ... l-20714755

Faraimo out and McIntosh in would be a very good move for Hull.

I like Bureta but he has disciplinary issues and McIntosh is much younger and British. He's also very pacy.

Good young player, lots of pace, him and Swift on the wings would be great.

Think we need another prop and a hooker then I'll be happy.

I'd be chuffed to bits with Mcintosh. Young, pacey and a natural finisher.

Offers cover at fullback too

I've just looked at the OOC list and there are 3 hookers who are worth a look at
Liam Hood
Danny Walker
Josh Eaves

I'm going to reserve judgement on this one for the the time being. He's young, he frees up a quota spot and he brings a bit of pace, so compared to Faraimo I'd agree it's a good move. But he's just never really exited me as a player. Never looked like a difference maker to me, just someone who is reliable and not much else. Now we are linked I will watch him more closely and see if my opinion changes.

As much as I like Faraimo unfortunately you need more from a player that takes up a valuable quote spot. Think Macintosh is decent player with some pace so that’s an improvement, he’s played a few positions at Hudds if I remember correctly.

What about overseas?

Good signing. Adds pace to our back line. Think farimo will do well at Cas.

Silivia Halivi is a guy I'd take a look at. Tonga number 9, and shared the hooking role at Canberra with Hodgson until recently.

The emergence of Tom Starling has pushed everyone down the pecking order at the raiders. Even Hodgson is rumoured to be off to Brisbane.
